The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 179: Gentle Sword

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Gentle Sword

When the retaliatory force of the Magic Circle penetrated Lin Bai’s body, the Devouring Sword Soul suddenly trembled, radiating endless might and shattering the retaliatory force.

Following this, enigmatic and obscure scriptures surfaced in Lin Bai’s mind.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill: Breaking the Forbidden."

"Harness the power of the Devouring Sword Soul to shatter all Magic Circle Prohibition Under Heaven."

After seeing the scriptures that suddenly appeared in his mind, joy overcame Lin Bai.

"I’ve awakened another Martial Soul Secret Skill," Lin Bai rejoiced in his heart.

This was Lin Bai’s second Martial Soul Secret Skill.

The first Martial Soul Secret Skill was called: Soul Searching.

Using the Soul Searching Secret Skill allows one to quickly skim through the memories in a warrior’s mind.

This skill was rather insignificant, Lin Bai rarely used it, but it can come up with surprise effects when needed.

Now, Lin Bai’s second Martial Soul Secret Skill was called Breaking the Forbidden.

Breaking the Forbidden could harness the power of the Devouring Sword Soul to shatter all Magic Circles Restrictions Under Heaven.

Once Lin Bai thoroughly familiarized himself with the Breaking the Forbidden Secret Skill, a smirk appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he calmly thought: "Now I finally understand why when the Devouring Sword Soul was introduced, there was a line that read ’Devouring Sword Soul, nothing it cannot engulf, nothing it cannot slash.’

"This Breaking Forbidden Secret Skill probably represents the ’nothing it cannot slash’ part."

"Then are there other secret skills that I haven’t grasped yet?"

The more Lin Bai contemplated, the more passionate he became.

Though the Devouring Sword Soul was ranked Yellow Level First Grade, its potential far outstripped that of a God-level Martial Soul.

Regardless of its ability to devour, or the Martial Soul Secret Skill, if utilized well, they would be a powerful aid for Lin Bai on his cultivation journey.

With the second Martial Soul Secret Skill already understood, what remained to be seen was how Lin Bai would use the secret skills.

"Let me test it out and see if the Breaking Forbidden Secret Skill indeed has the ability to slash through every kind of Magic Circle Prohibition Under Heaven as described."

Lin Bai slowly opened his semi-closed eyes, a strange light flashed in them.

Unknown to him, by the time he was familiarizing himself with the Martial Soul Secret Skill, half an hour had already passed.

Many warriors who originally had no faith in Lin Bai started to jeer and laugh when they saw him inactive for so long.

"Did this waste of space go mad? Sitting there motionless."

"Being perfectly still, how tortoise-like. Hahaha."

"This person is really good for nothing and stupid."

"Hahaha."

A group of warriors began to laugh loudly.

Upon hearing the voices of these warriors, Lin Bai sneered in his heart.

The world has really declined, people have lost their morality. Just a moment ago, Liu Liang, Lin Zi’er, Ye Suxin, and Lijian Xing had all been meditating in front of the stone tablet for an hour, and these people were quietly waiting.

But when it was his turn, they started to get impatient and made fun of him.

With the low level of his Martial Soul, any respect that Lin Bai should have received had completely vanished.

"A bunch of frogs at the bottom of the well, let’s see what you all will say after I obtain the Martial Intent Divine Techniques," Lin Bai smirked coldly.

"Martial Soul Secret Skill, Breaking the Forbidden!"

Lin Bai roared in his heart, and the Devouring Sword Soul responded instantly. Boundless dark radiance flowed out, opening a black crevice on Lin Bai’s forehead.

Whoo-

The black crevice on his forehead was like a black heavenly eye and instantly shot out a black beam as sharp as a sharp sword, hitting the stone tablet unyieldingly.

Crackle-

Upon the impact of the Devouring Sword Soul’s power on the Magic Circle on the Stone Stele, tremors rang out immediately, and then cracks appeared on the Magic Circle of the Stele.

With a loud bang, the Magic Circle on the Stone Stele shattered, pulverized by Lin Bai’s strike.

Without the protection of the Magic Circle, the words on the Stele of the Wind God Skill appeared before Lin Bai right away.

The words on the stone stele emitted a charming golden glow, each word seeming to spring to life to dance before Lin Bai.

Whoosh——

Suddenly at this time.

The golden words on the stone stele drew Lin Bai’s soul into an illusion.

"He broke through the Magic Circle!" The mechanical puppet exclaimed.

As guardian of this place, the mechanical puppet knew better than anyone that the Magic Circle on this stone stele was established by a transcendent master of the Divine Elixir Realm, and brute force could only break it open if one had at least Heavenly Elixir Realm cultivation.

Yet Lin Bai, astonishingly, had done it while at the Fourth Level of Earth Martial Realm.

"How is this possible!"

"Yes, it’s impossible."

"Even Lin Zi’er, with her Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, was unable to break through this Magic Circle with her spiritual power. How could Lin Bai have done it?"

"How could this Yellow Level First Grade trash break through the Magic Circle?"

"There must be some trickery involved!"

Many Warriors swore that Lin Bai had been cheating. Their words were incredibly resolute, and all agreed on this point.

The Magic Circle on the Martial Intent God Stele was shattered by Lin Bai.

Right at that moment, the Magic Circle on the stone stele suddenly twisted in front of Lin Bai, forming a whirlpool that drew his soul into it.

Whoosh——

Upon entering the vortex, Lin Bai found himself immediately standing at the bank of a small lake.

The gentle breeze blew softly across Lin Bai’s face.

Across from Lin Bai stood a white-robed youth. He gazed at Lin Bai, holding a sharp sword, a faint smile on his face. "Wind, colorless and tasteless, shadowless and invisible, you can’t see it, grasp it, or touch it. Yet when it blows on your face, it can give you a sense of warmth."

"Here by this lake, I felt the gentleness of the breeze and was moved to understand the Gentle Sword."

Lin Bai stared in puzzlement at the white-robed youth, wondering if this person could be the Wind God Sect’s Ancestral Master, Feng Lingzi.

So young?

This could be the young Feng Lingzi, who looked to be only about seventeen or eighteen years old.

"He’s even younger than I am, and yet he’s mastered Martial Arts Divine Ability. There are just too many geniuses in this world." Lin Bai couldn’t help but exclaim.

Lin Bai considered that at this age, he had already surpassed many geniuses of Shenwu Kingdom. However, after meeting Feng Lingzi, Lin Bai realized that his current achievements were trivial.

"Gentle Sword, I will show you once, how much you can comprehend depends on your fate." The white-robed youth gently smiled at Lin Bai, raising his sharp sword, and formed endless Sword Intent in an instant.

"Come then, let me see just how powerful Martial Intention Divine Techniques are."

Lin Bai waited breathlessly, focusing intently on the White-robed youth’s outgoing sword.

With a warm smile on his face, the white-robed youth took a few steps forward, straight to Lin Bai, waved his sword, and stirred up a gentle breeze which swept past Lin Bai’s face.

This breeze made Lin Bai feel a trace of warmth and peace. At this moment, Lin Bai had almost dropped all of his guard down.

Lin Bai had never before felt such peace, with no pressure or worry. He forgot everything, forgot about Lin Zi’er, forgot about the pursuit of the Three Great Wealth God Families, forgot that this place was within the Relics of the Wind God Sect.

Just at that instant, the sword swept past.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai reacted just in time. He looked closely, and saw that the sword of the white-robed youth had already swept past his throat.

If Lin Bai was really fighting this youth, at this moment, his throat would have already been cut by him.

This sword had no feeling of pain, not a feeling at all apart from that friendly breeze.

Staring at the white-robed youth, Lin Bai’s face became blurry and Lin Bai’s mind began to move away from the stone stele.

"Did you see it clearly?"

As Lin Bai’s soul left, the white-robed youth asked with a smile.
